We live outside of Pekin, Illinois, which is by Peoria, Illinois. We are in an ice storm warning area, and I see that we could get as much as 3/4" ice in some areas. Please pray that this will not happen.
I know that many people across the nation (including Keifer and my parents) have experienced terrible ice storms before with the resulting power outages, etc. I just pray that does not happen here. I feel responsible for all my patients, and I know that the terrible low temps combined with no electricity would result in some of them dying. I'm not even taking people into account yet! There is a low income housing unit in town that is several stories tall. I know many of them, and I cannot see how they will be able to get out of the building if the elevators do not work. Let along stay warm. So......
Dear Heavenly Father,
I have seen Your miraculous works many times with our weather. Even though the big Mother's Day tornado did much damage, You made sure no one died. You have made the rain so spotty when we have had hay down that it did not get wet. You have given us rain when it got so dry. You made sure that people avoided flood damage this year. You have protected our crops from hail.
I pray, Father, that this ice storm will not happen. I am afraid for many people and animals if this storm does occur. If we do have to go through this trial, then please be with us and help us.
Amen.
